The villian crew or 'boat' is good money if you know what your doing. But if you expect the clothes to dress u then it isn't.
What are you talking about? The fit is **** on me. If it works for you then awesome but sometimes things just don't work out, and this is one of those things in my case.

I know it's never recommended and hang-drying is the way to go, but has anyone tried putting the tees in the dryer? And if so how'd they come out? I find the shirts pretty long and wouldn't mind trying to shrink them a little, but I know they're a blend and the collar can get wrinkled sometimes.

Damn. My villain crew was finally delivered and it's horrible.
I don't like being the negative dude but if it leads to a better product then it's worth it.
The wide/boat neck is weird, sleeves are too short and the wide neck pulls the shoulders out and just makes it sit really weird. Yeah and the quilting on the yoke already had several loose threads straight out of the bag. Easiest decision to return something I've ever had.
It sucks cos I love my villain hoody, but this thing is just terrible.
On the plus side the fabric is really nice and definitely a little lighter than the hoody.

EDIT: If I try and make an exchange (dual zip flash) and the product is no longer in stock by the time my return arrives, do I just have to wait for a restock or do I just get store credit instead?


How was the fit compared to the villian? Same size or size down recommendation?

It seems about the same as the hoody except for sleeves. I don't know what it is but the sleeves are 1-2" shorter than my villain hoody.

It's a new brand. The more feedback the better, it will only help them understand wants and needs better.
All of this said I own 7 pieces from J+E and the crewneck was the 8th. All of the other pieces i LOVE it was just the crew I was than less pleased with, and like I said, sometimes things just don't work out. 7/8 is a pretty good track record.

Thank god it wasn't just me. I own a hoody already so I was expecting it to fit just like that. Looks so weird. Exactly how you described.

Can anyone can compare the Riga half zip hoodie to a Uniqlo hoodie? I have a uniqlo in a L should I stick to a L for the Riga or Villain?

Glad it's not just me over reacting then.
Now I just don't know whether I should exchange for the dual zip flash or wait for the track/bomber jacket.

From the email I got they only do exchanges for another size. So you would have to do a return.

Just got through the last couple of pages and our apologies on any problems. As always, when you order from us you can expect that we stand behind our product and will accept returns or exchanges within our terms & conditions.

The Villain Crew has worked out for a ton of people, but we hear you and are working on an adjusted fit for future drops.

As for an update on future drops, we will be re-releasing the non-quilted Escobars, and Hooded Villains in Black, Grey, and White in the month of March.

For those looking forward to the shorts & non-quilted Lima Sweats, those will be dropping as soon as next week, as will as a restock on Mercer Tanks & Classic Crews.

Thanks for all of your continued support!

Will there be a restock of the quilted black escobar's anytime in the near future (like next two weeks or so)? I really want a pair, but would prefer the black to the grey. If not, i'll just order the grey.

I'm also worried about fit, i'm 6 feet tall and around 175 pounds. Thinking of a large but worried they might run at touch big.
